Today I’m sharing a fun little Takeout Treat Box I made for a group of stampers at my retreat last month. I used the Takeout Thinlits Dies to cut the box out of Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper. I tied a piece of Basic Black Solid Twine around the box, and the finishing touch is a little wooden element I painted with Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint, adhered using a Mini Glue Dot. Easy peasy quick and easy!
Here’s what I made:

Today I’m sharing a card I made using the Homemade Kindness stamp set, which has cozy, sweet images from an old fashioned kitchen. I stamped the images in black Stazon ink onto watercolor paper, then used an Aqua Painter to watercolor the images.

Today I’m excited to share some great projects I received while I was at OnStage Orlando last month. The ones I’m sharing are the ones that survived the trip home in the best shape! I’ve included links to instructions for the projects on my fellow demonstrators’ web sites.
Here’s what Debbie Mason made:
This cute little jar is full of gingersnaps! She used the Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper, Santa’s Signpost Framelits Dies, Sparkle Glimmer Paper, and Poppy Parade 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon.

Correction: I later realized that I cut the trees with the Christmas Staircase Thinlits Dies instead of the In the Woods Framelits Dies. They both have a tree and I just forgot which one I used by the time I wrote this blog post. Either one would work great on this card. You can get the set I actually used here: Christmas Staircase Thinlits Dies (144679) 20 dies for $39. Here’s the Year-End Closeout!
